ENGLISH Heritage is to be congratulated for listing Coventry’s indoor market, thereby holding up the Jerde development.

The Jerde development would mean demolishing the market and rebuilding on a nearby site.

I have studied the Jerde proposals (in the market) several times and I can find no merit in it. one possible benefit of course is the ditch. This is an obvious collecting point for rubbish and detritus so would probably save on cleaning costs.
